On 5th September 2024 – BRRC organized an industrial exposure and study trip for students and lab experts from the Environmental Engineering and Management (EEM) program of School of Engineering and Technology, AIT, to ALLPLUS (Thailand) Co., Ltd. located at the Rojana Industrial Estate in Ayutthaya province. This visit is a follow-up to the former discussions of potential collaborations between AIT and ALL-PLUS in their delegation visit to BRRC on July 23rd, 2024 led by Mr. Daniel Ng Joo-Then, Senior Advisor of the company. Dr. Wenchao Xue, Director of AIT’s Belt and Road Research Center (BRRC) and Head of the Environmental Engineering and Management (EEM) program, led the group, together with Mr. Chaiyaporn Imsapsangworn, EEM Lab Supervisor. The propose of this visit is to provide EEM students with a practical understanding of industrial processes and their impact on research and development in environmental engineering.

During the visit, the AIT delegation was warmly welcomed by a team led by Mr. Daniel Ng Joo-Then, Senior Advisor; Ms. Samerkae Sangdao, Marketing Development Manager; Ms. Aksarapak Tattanana from the R&D lab; and Ms. Teeranun Neamhoe, HR Manager, along with professional teams.
